    Excuse me. It very clearly says his name is Character Eraser.

    I would not be averse to a Transformers: Batmobiles subline.

    Walmart "Transformers Retro" line (G1-based redecos/retools)

    I do kinda wish we'd gotten two heads on Gears, with a cover for the one we're not using. The way the head piece is set up is perfect for it. And yeah, that altmode is kind of a mess. "Make it vaguely truck shaped" seems to have been the entire plan. Solid robot mode and nice transformation...

    Transformers Collaborative series

    Eh, I dunno. That doesn't seem very on brand for Collaborative, which has so far been riding the wave of specifically using iconic vehicles and looks with their identifying features faithfully represented. Delorean time machine, Ecto-1, TMNT Party Wagon, 90s show Blackbird... And as much as the...

    Walmart "Transformers Retro" line (G1-based redecos/retools)

    If this Bee uses opaque plastic that may well be what gets me to buy it. Give me the rest of them with opaque plastic and toy decos too. I mean yeah, it goes against "toy", but it also goes against "broken toy", so that's good.

    Transformers One Spoiler Discussion

    Yeah, everything that's being discussed, from issues (especially as Megatron goes) to his bully taunting to his panicked begging for his life, is elevated by it being in Buscemi's voice. If ScarJo was surprisingly engaging, Steve brought a great level of personality and edge to this. Tangent: I...

    Walmart "Transformers Retro" line (G1-based redecos/retools)

    My first thought with Bumblebee was confusion that they didn't put a battle mask head on the new SS86 mold. That thing was practically designed for this vibe. But yeah, given the bunch of other reissues they have going, it's nice that this gets redone too. And in a nicer, more familiar yellow...

    Transformers Collaborative series

    My top pick is 89, next is BTAS. But it's got a good shot at being 66, and I won't be MAD, but I won't be anywhere near as happy as I'd be with either of those two. It'd be funny after all that for it to turn out being the muscle car from The Batman. Or Penguin's big duck tank thing.

    Inside Out 2 - Now on Disney+

    I guess that makes sense too, as we can get lulled into bad habits when things are good -- including the tendency to avoid anything that could threaten that. I was reacting like you too upon noticing that Chekhov's gun of burying and jettisoning potentially rough memories: with a bit of "this...

    Transformers One Spoiler Discussion

    I'm not sure it was even that. It's an unintentionally (competed to Soundwave's) common voice from a damaged voice box, that's enough to get a "wow that guy sounds weird". Working it into the movie was a nice touch, especially since it added to the Megs/Starscream lore and the choking was a...

    Transformers One Spoiler Discussion

    I'm fine with the Darkwing thing being on Sentinel's orders. While, yes, henchmen acting on their own accord happens, this streamlines the narrative and gives D-16 another reason to feel betrayed by his idol (which we were shown him feeling anyway). Sentinel had already gotten the benefit of...

    Transformers One Spoiler Discussion

    I've always liked that. Ties in with the "strong" fighting leader bit not being his core. I also like how in IDW it's Megatron who sparks something in Op; Optimus being dragged away from the Senate shouting the three questions is a very memorable scene. But i dig the dynamic here too that...

    I was also curious, as I haven't followed the new comics and only got snippets of this (and double-bird salute Cliffjumper) as memes.

    I like the IDW situation where they drift together due to circumstances and are each informed by different backgrounds, but can both see the need for change. I don't mind Zeta being one of the 13. But let's not keep doing "Prima Prime".
